Discovering that Fan Yong had become a closed book, saying nothing except to assign work tasks to team members, Xi Rubao continued to message Zuzi:
"Hey, sis, I overthought things. I didn't realize how much a family upheaval could impact someone. He used to be so jumpy and sharp-tongued before!"
Zuzi simply replied: "Yeah, life messes with people."
Ordinary people can't predict what they'll encounter in the next second.
Xi Rubao diligently participated in the college competition preparations. As a freshman, doing well in activities like these counted towards her end-of-term performance scores, allowing her to compete for scholarships, with the highest being the Principal Special Award worth 88,000.
She worked hard to earn some money.
Whatever odd jobs Fan Yong and the seniors assigned, she was willing to do, even sterilizing surgical instruments, which was the most tedious and exhausting work, she didn't refuse.
